v0.10.2-beta

Release Notes v0.10.2-beta

Critical Fixes

• Fixed a crash on the Audiobookshelf podcast library screen caused by large episode lists exceeding SQLite's CursorWindow. Episodes now use a dedicated table (DB v55).
• Fixed storage losing its primary volume on some devices (Xiaomi / Android 16). An internal-storage volume is synthesised when the system reports none.

---

Major Improvements

Update Security

• Downloaded update APKs are verified against a server-provided SHA-256 digest, and files that fail verification are deleted.
• Updates download to app-private storage, and stale or partial downloads are cleaned up beforehand.
• Downloaded APKs are re-validated on resume, so a deleted or modified file won't be installed.

Jellyseerr Discover Filters

• Filter sheet with release date, runtime, rating and vote-count thresholds, TV status, and TMDB keyword include/exclude.
• Watch-provider filtering with region detection.
• Sorting by popularity, release or air date, rating, and title.
• Filter and sort state persisted per user, server, and category (DB v56).
• Respects the server's Discover region and "hide available" settings. Filtering and sorting now also apply to Upcoming Movies and TV.

UI Standardisation

• Standardised shared UI components: snackbar, connection badge, switches, media cards, transport controls, and empty and loading states.

Music

• Playlists load via reactive Flows and update automatically on create and delete.

---

UI & Minor Updates

• Fixed inconsistent row heights and title alignment in Similar Items, Movie, and Box Set detail rows.
• Fixed pagination indicators being confined to a single grid cell instead of spanning the full width.
• Fixed a missing space in the "Narrated by" line on the Audiobookshelf item screen.
• Added a download icon to Jellyseerr request buttons.
• Updated the Settings screen to the current Material 3 adaptive layout APIs.
• Release builds fall back to the debug signing key when no key.properties is present.

Major Improvements

Real-Time Sync (new)

• Jellyfin — pre-resolved media change events for faster UI updates; library scans refresh only on completion
• Favourites and watchlist sync automatically from external changes

Smarter Server Connections

• LAN address is now genuinely preferred at home — streams stay local instead of routing through the internet
• Local addresses work on Ethernet and VPN (docks, Android boxes, Tailscale subnet routing) instead of forcing offline mode
• Leaving WiFi mid-session swaps to the external URL promptly, even during fullscreen playback
• Connection indicator is consistent across the top bar and Settings, updates live, and turns red when the server is down — not just your internet
• Recognises Tailscale MagicDNS (*.ts.net), .local hostnames, and IPv6; faster logins with no duplicate probing

Jellyseerr Requests

• New media detail screen: ratings, cast, collections, recommendations, similar titles
• Advanced request options: TVDB series matching, language profiles, tags, "Request as" another user
• Discover follows the server's Discover Sliders; request quotas with indicator, 4K and partial-request settings respected

Home Screen Rework

• Dynamic lazy-loaded sections that hydrate as you scroll, with shimmer placeholders
• Cache-first startup: sections render instantly from local cache, then refresh in the background

Audiobookshelf

• Dedicated library and series screens with "Browse" shortcuts on the Home tab
• Mark as Finished for books and individual podcast episodes
• Unheard-episode badges, incremental page loading, redesigned item header

Music

• Genre browsing with detail screen (Instant Mix, Shuffle, Radio)
